On occasion...I just make shit up

Your Love Element Is Pasta

In love, you are both a side dish and entree. For you, love is all about being cooked to the perfect consistency. You attract others with your dizzying array of shapes and colors. Your flirting style is defined by choosing just the right sauce. Soft and al dente are the cornerstones of your love life. No matter what else may pass, you'll always know you're done when you stick to the wall. You connect best with: Garlic Bread Avoid: Snacking You and another Pasta element: will never be able to work out the entaglements

What Element Is Your Love?

Man of the house

So I had to wake up at an ungodly hour this morning (for me, anyway) so I could haul the garbage out to the curb for garbage day. I had planned to go back to sleep afterward, but...nothing doing, so I've been up a bit longer today than I'm generally used to. Still, can't be a bad thing, eh? Gotta get used to something resembling normal hours again. I'm sad to say that today wasn't nearly as productive as yesterday. Inbox Cleaning Day was more or less a success, so that's at least a step in the right direction to my new, more manageable 2006. What that really meant, though, was weeding through the fluff; there's still a lot of important stuff to be addressed, all of which I failed to do today. What I did do today was run a few household errands, do a little shopping, and play a good amount of poker. I got my newfangled online poker hand history database thingy up and running (or at least the demo of it), so I was itching to stuff it full of hands and see how it operates, and I spent a few hours at the virtual tables today. (As an aside...I don't want poker to take up a lot of my time in the next couple weeks...time I should be using to do other things. However, I don't want to leave it behind, either, as it is still (allegedly) money in my pocket. I'm shooting for something like four hours a day; that keeps it in about the part-time job range, which I think is reasonable.) I got some foodstuffs for the house today, but I should be getting more tomorrow or the next day. It occurred to me today as I was browsing the grocery aisles that it has been quite a long time since I've been on my own. I've really missed it. Anyway, that's largely it...although I also bought an honest-to-God ledger book today...made out of paper and everything. I'm very excited to start making entries in it; perhaps I'll start in on that before the night is through. Though the night may be through earlier than I'm used to since my day started so early. We shall see. In any case...my to-do list remains ever large. For upcoming tasks, I'm thinking probably a lot of poker blogging is in order. Also I have e-mails to write. TV is killing me. All this stuff to do, and I still can't tear away from the idiot box. I think it's really because I can watch TV while I play poker, so at least I feel semi-productive. Anyway...less TV, more other stuff. Onward!

But maybe onward...tomorrow. :) Oh, in any case, all traces of the earlier nervousness have left. I think I am now adjusted to being relaxed. Now if I can only get off my lazy ass and get stuff done.

Ah, and I'll leave off with a PSA. Am I the only one who missed the boat on this ICE your Phone thing? If you haven't heard of that, check out the article. Sounds like a great idea to me! Hook it up for the new year, everybody. Okay, that's it for now. Peace!
